1. أَهْوَى قَمَراً له المعاني رِقُ

    منْ صُبْحِ جَبيِنِه أَضاءَ الشرقُ

    I love a moon to whom all meanings are in thrall.

    From the dawn of his brow, the East shone bright.

  2. تدري باللِه ما يقولُ البرقُ

    ما بينَ ثَنَايَاهُ وبَيْنِي فرقُ

    Do you know, by God, what the lightning says?

    "There is no difference between his front teeth and me."
